History

Kemble is a part of the Georgian Bluffs. Originally First Nations groups made this area their home, taking advantage of the fish and wildlife in the area. The various First Nations groups that settled along the Niagara Escarpment were the Huron, Algonquin, Chippewa, Ojibway and Pottawatomi tribes. Today, the Saugeen First Nation and Chippewas of the Nawash still call this area home.

There were several townships that made up the Georgian Bluffs. The Township of Keppel is one of those original townships, and it was established in 1858 with its first government being formed.
